Deleted my BIN folder on accident

Title. Nothing will update, nothing will install. I'm afraid to reboot. What can I do?
Device -- Xperia Play R800X

Adb push or root explorer the folder to /system from the unzipped rom
what device?
Whole folder at once would be easier but doesn't matter just make sure permission are rwxr-xr-x
Easiest way to change perms is with a root file explorer, I use es explorer in settings enable root then mount system as write, long hold the file, goto properties then change permission. Or adb remount chmod not sure of the actual perm set you'll have to search.

Never figured out how to change perms. Should I download source and do it like that?

Okay, now where can I get the bin folder? Should I factory reset? Would that work?

Unzip the ROM drill to system/

Fixed it! Thanks sammael.

Cannot move files to the system directory.

I downloaded a new boot animation. I'm trying to move it to /system/customize/resourses but es file explorer and Astros say file cannot be moved. I was able to move the original file out. Now I can't even move the original back. In ES I made sure the root explorer and mount file system boxes are checked. I have the permissions checked but still nothing can be moved in.

Does either of those apps have root permissions? Idk cuz I don't use them..but its easy to just use adb to manually push the file

I've never used adv to do this. Is there a how to somewhere?

I'm pretty sure that this app can accomplish what you're trying to do.

Thanks for the suggestion but this didn't work either. Says failed to move.

It's as if I can move or copy anything onto the SD card but nothing can be moved or copied from it.

Use Root Explorer. So worth the $2. I don't use astro or ES, but if you can't copy or move anything in or from the root directory then / is probably not mounted as r/w. Look for an option while in the root directory that says "mount as r/w"

Yep root explorer is your best option. adb push can be used to, but its command line only.

Well I know what caused me to have this issue but I do not know the details why.
I was running the Mikrunny Odex ROM with the Red theme. I wanted to give the Coredroid theme a try so I installed the theme and this issue started. After many hours of trying to fix this I restored my backup from a couple weeks ago that has the red theme and all is good again. To reduplicate the issue I reinstalled the Coredroid theme and the issue returned.

I use es file explorer and i have no issues moving things to the system folders whenever I want. If its not working you may try to uninstall and reinstall the app and then go to the settings and make sure you check browse as root and mount system as r/w.

I did try this a couple times but still could not get files to move.

Hmm.. have you tried to delete es file explorer from your allowed super user apps and then open es file explorer to give it super user permission again.

Yep, did that too. I think it had something to do with a theme I installed. When I restored a previous backup I could use ES just fine to move the boot animation file.

That's what i was telling myself. However, after restoring my backup, I installed the theme again and once again I could not move files into the system directory or any of it's sub directories.

How would you push an .apk to your system/app?

The best way to push an app to your system/app file with out bricking your phone?

Um that isn't going to brick you. Especially since you're talking about system app. Worst thing to happen would be a reboot if you touched an app which was currently running.
But I've been using root explorer and it works great. Or if the file is on my computer I use adb push. Or even a flashable zip if you really are worried.

I used a file browser app and installed it over the existing one. Every time after that I was getting an error something .goo not responding. (SecPhone.apk) Trying to restor the call recording feature. I ended up doing a restore back to square one. No if I use root-explorer will it make a difference or should I use dab push? I would not know how to begging with that. could I use terminal and instal like I would if I was using the cwmtr.img install directions. but direct it to system/app?

Which file browser app did you use? Did you remember to set the permissions for the newly copied apk? Permissions in /system/app should be rw-r--r
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2

No I did not set permissions. If I use Root-Explorer will that allow me to set permissions? I used Smanager to move the file.

Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V

Can I use RootExplorer to zip file them flash it? Or just move using RE?

Yes, Root Explorer will allow you to change permissions as long as you aare rooted.

Root Explorer is a file manager, use to move the file to the appropriate folder and set permissions and reboot. I know you can create a zip & tar file, don't know if it would be flashable though.

Smanager isn't a good file system tool. Try root browser lite tap and hold functioning is perfect. Has options for copy paste and permissions

I am using Frosty JB v6. I asked in the developer thread and I got a reply http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874063&page=546
I tried using RootExplorer and I was still getting error messages after be booting. Is there a way to make it flash able? What am I doing wrong or is it just never going to work? Do I need to start looking for a rom that has it functional on the build?

Did you reset permissions to match the rest of the files in the folder?
And you probably need to wipe dalvik and cache in recovery.

Use root browser lite, you can get it from the market it's a freeware then copy the app you want to system/app ....no permission stuff needed

Please know what you're talking about first before posting suggestions. Especially when it pertains to system directory permissions. System/app directory uses rw-r--r-- as the permissions. Meaning owner has read write permissions while everyone else only has read. Not setting permissions correctly can lead to many many many issues.

I vote for a rom that has it and works where you don't need to mod stuff, yet. Learn all this stuff with something you don't need, like a sound mod (DSP) or something.

What app are you using to do that? Also if you're moving something to system/apps you have to make sure you enable RW on the app

You need a root file explorer. ES File Explorer is probably the best free one.
Though it is my opinion that Solid Explorer is the best overall.

The apk says both read and write are enabled but I still can't copy it into the system/app folder.
Sent from my SGH-T999

If you use file explorer first select root explorer, then grant it root access when prompted, then select mount R/W and select system, after that you will be able to copy

How do I change the perms to rw-r-r ? When I try editing the perms of /system/app/ folder using ES Root Explorer (root permission granted) it says operation failed. I cannot even move this APK from sdcard to /system/app/ folder, says permission denied.
What do you suggest?

Root permission is not granted to your file explorer.
Press the menu button while on es file explorer.
Then in tools set root explorer to "on".
You must be asked to grant superuser acces. Grant it
You are done !!!

It is granted mate, see this: http://i.imgur.com/3DEgtRi.png
Root Explorer is turned on as well.

Try this..
1. Copy the apk and paste it into /system/app -- you'll need to press the button on the top right that says "Mount R/W".
2. Long-press on the newly pasted apk file and select Permissions.
3. Change the permissions to User: Read - Write, Group: Read, Others: Read
4. When you click Okay, you should see "rw-r--r--" in the fine print under the apk name.
5. Click the Mount R/O button, then reboot.

See if other apps are granted super user permission.
If not try changing your superSu to superuser by CM.
If notthing works, you can flash it if you have a custom recovery like CWM.
